“No need for that.” Phillis shook his head and replied, “My goal is to kill Wu Yu, but unfortunately, I don’t have the power to kill you, so please go and seek your own death.”
"I'm not so desperate to live that I'd rather die than commit suicide," Wu Yu joked.
“But Wu Yu is definitely going to explore the truth of the world. Do you need me to tell you where you can find the truth?” Philliss revealed a devilish smile, her every word and action carrying an irresistible temptation.
"Where?" Wu Yu raised an eyebrow. Even though he knew the other party was digging a pit for him, he had no choice but to jump in.
“At the roots of the Ancient Tree of Life, a forbidden area of the elves, there dwells a mysterious being. If you meet Him, He can answer all your questions,” Phillis continued. “Moreover, the legendary Fountain of Youth also exists there. If you can truly reach it, even your severed left hand can be restored.”
"Who said I have to go?" Wu Yu deliberately contradicted him.
"Because that's the only place where you can learn the truth. If you're really prepared to do nothing, I'd be happy to see that, and I won't kill you. But I still have to remind you that even if you are a god, when the end of the world comes, as long as you're still in this plane, you won't be able to escape the fate of falling."
Philliss said with concern, as if she were genuinely thinking about Wu Yu's future.
"But there must be just as much danger there that could threaten my life, right?" Wu Yu said in a deep voice, knowing full well that the other party had ill intentions.
"The former is a near-death experience, while the latter is certain death. Someone as smart as Wu Yu surely knows which choice to make," Phillis chuckled, directly revealing Wu Yu's thoughts.
Wu Yu remained silent for a while, and finally said helplessly, "Then I'll take my leave first. You definitely won't have any trouble with things here."
“Of course.” Phillis said confidently, then took out a pre-written letter and handed it to Wu Yu. “Since you are going to the Elf Kingdom, please take a letter to the Elf Queen for me on your way. In return, the Elf Queen will give you a chance to go to their forbidden area.”
"Speaking of which, our relationship can now be considered hostile, right? It's probably not appropriate for you to ask me, your enemy, to do things for you," Wu Yu said unexpectedly.
“This is a transaction, not a request. If you, Wu Yu, have a way to infiltrate the Elf Kingdom, you can naturally refuse my offer,” Phillis explained.
"What does this letter say?" Wu Yu finally accepted the letter. If he couldn't deliver the letter, Phillis could find someone else to do it, so she probably just wanted to help. However, even so, Wu Yu couldn't just obediently deliver the letter to her. If Phillis didn't answer him, he would just peek at it.
"Regarding the invitation to form an alliance, the demon invasion is imminent. If we don't unite the strength of the entire continent, we will absolutely be unable to resist the demons," Phillis said worriedly.
"No way, your combat power has already reached the god level. Fighting a demon is a piece of cake for you, right? I don't think their demon king is that powerful." Wu Yu said in surprise.
It wasn't that Wu Yu looked down on the demon race, but rather that the background that Philliss had revealed was far beyond what this world could possibly pose, and he couldn't think of any threat the demon race could possibly pose.
Even the strongest demon king probably wouldn't be a match for the God of Light. As for his subordinates, they've all been used as tools by the Outer Gods Alliance.
"Heh, the demons' strength is not as simple as you think. Because of you, Wu Yu, our strongest combat force is only an eighth-tier epic. What's coming is a war of equal strength. Moreover, the Guardians and the Apocalypse Society are still around. Their purpose is not to resist the demon invasion. We must always be on guard against their sneak attacks from behind." Phillis said disdainfully. She had always found the internal divisions among the people ridiculous.
"Since you've put it that way, then I should at least contribute to maintaining world peace," Wu Yu said sarcastically, before putting the envelope into his storage ring.
"Goodbye." Phillis waved goodbye to Wu Yu as he left.
"If we meet again, I hope we won't turn against each other with swords drawn," Wu Yu said with emotion.
“That depends on your will, Wu Yu. I will always reserve a place for you by my side,” Phillis said sincerely.
Wu Yu didn't reply; he just sighed and ultimately chose to leave.
"Aiden, I'm preparing to leave the Versailles Empire." As soon as Wu Yu stepped out, he went to Aiden in the next room. After all, he was still nominally under their surveillance, so he had to tell them before he left.
"Hmm." Aiden nodded to indicate that he understood, without saying anything more. They had all seen Wu Yu's actions over the past few days and there was nothing suspicious about them. Moreover, the most important thing in their country now was no longer to find the murderer of the emperor, but to elect a new emperor.
If Wu Yu wanted to cause trouble, he might have to stop him. But if Wu Yu, this potential threat, could leave sooner, he would naturally be more than happy to agree.
Since Philliss would let him go, Wu Yu knew that his journey would not be hindered by anyone else.
Having made sure he wouldn't be stopped, Wu Yu continued walking out of the manor.
Along the way, he also encountered Maper, who was busy with her work. She seemed to still think that Philliss was that weak and helpless little girl, and her face always showed a look of hardship.
